do not wish to discuss, but that some
thing has is sure.
KEMPER HERALD: County after
county is wheeling into the Alliance
column. 1t is absorbing the Grange,
| the Relief and the Wheel. 1t is the
engine which shall shattcr the shack
les of the agricultural classes.
OXFORD EAGLE: Liberty is a gift
| from the Almighty. Freedom of
speech and freedom of thought and
/ freedom of action is the greatest priv
! ilcge of an enlightened people. Fa-
naticism is relic of barbarism.
( KOsCIUsCo STAR: Nearly all the
old broken down Republican party
hacks are enthusiastic partisianS ofthe
! Lowry administration. Its gorgeous
I extravaganza reminds them doubtless
of the palmy days of plumber under
AmeS.
KoSCIrSKO STAR: Several papers
have been criticizing senator George
/ for his letter in which he showed that
the State had long since liquidated its
/ Indebtedness tO the University. The
man who Omonkeys with Jim George Ill
an intellectual contest will feel like
! he had been wrestling with IL Dakota
1 blizzard.
/ NATCIEZ DEMOCRAT: We do not
/ hesitate to believe that the primary
election system of nominating candi-
dates will keep up in this county and
! that every voter will have his s;ly-So
( as to whom shall be the county Off
GERS. As only democratic voters will
/ have Il voice in the democratic primal
ries it is important that every one
: should prove his rights to participate
i'll them.
YAZoo HERALD: We have heard it
rumored that the friends of Nh. Geo.
/ \. Wilson. in order to secure his clcc-
/ ton .havc endeavored to induce Mr.
/ Henry Niles to run for District Attor-
nev, an if this he so the Democracy
of Holmes s,r..uld work as they have
never worked to s2rur~ the oelcat "l
both gentlemen, and the r,.,"hil'iaii,
election of }. +. Gwin and +. F. !, 'e'
, by unprcced I'D nlalor.t!cs.
/ CnICKAsAw MESSENGER: Think of
man who had been twice elevated
to the highest office in the gift of the
State, defending from his lofty
position, and going into Il county
one month after the nominating
convention was held, and con-
spiring with the sore heads to
! turn the county over to the Radi-
cal party, and Won have true pie
turc of Robert Lowry, the so-call-
ed Democratic Governor of this the
tay-curScd aud ring-ridden State.
CLAY County LEADER: If the
parties, and especially the editors,
who speak disparagingly of Mrs.
Mollie McGec Smell on account of her
recent letter to the New York Voice.
had even drop of the purity OF
heart and noble patriotism that
words might have more weight. The
true cause of their attack upon her Is
not love for jefferson Davis, nor teal-
! ty to the south, lut Il stubborn, nm
yielding adherence and devotion to
tine liquor traffic. That's the whole
of it III nut she'll.
NEW MISSIssIPPIAN: The Demo
Gratis of Lincoln and jefferson coEn-
ties have had long trouble and travail
| about the nomination of Fl0atcr
Representative lut after all they NOM
! mated probaly the best man tley
could have found i'll the entire limits
of those counties, Senator j. j.
! Whitney, of Fdyette. 1t is seldom
! that the right man is brought III at the
| last hour, but this iSan exception, and
knowing him as we do, to have mud''
an able and upright senator, and to
! be IL pure and excellent gentleman,
We can cordially congratulate thepe0-
! plc of Lincoln and jefferson.
| NEW MISSISsIPPIAN: 1T seems tn
lis that however correct may bc
! the idea of GOV. Lowry that the
poor counties have no right to IL
voice in State affairs, that the prop
osition comes with poor grace from
one who borrowed some of the
! school money Of one of these same
counties ORankim and refused to
pay it back, and when an cXecu-
/ tiom was issued against him, claimed
/ his exemption and the execution
returned MriIa bona. Perhaps if he
had paid back the money he owed
/ Rankin county, that county could
have done letter by the State Treas
ury.
OXFORD FALCON: In the suit of
the State against the leSscc:' o: the
penittntiary for over TS0,000, Judge
Wharton rendered IL decision, sustain
/ ing the demurrer of Attoriloy-General
Miller. Judgment will be granted at
the next term of the Kinds raunty cir
cuit court, against the h0idsmcn
of the lessees, for the full amount
due the State hy said lessees. 1t
| would appear as though justice was
gradually being meted ont, to II
certain extent, To few of the "biS
bugs.n When the day arrives that
rich murderers and swindlcrs get
| Just punishment for their yulnera-
hle and unlawful practices, the
same as poor men, there will pre-
vail in this State more peaceahle
and contented sentiment. liut so
long-as the so called aristoeiacy il,
allowed, by the power of their
money, to revel III and 60 unpun-
ished for their damnable and cow
ardlv crimes, just so long will there
prevail among US sentiment 0t
dissatisfaction and downward tepden-
ey in the nrosnerity of the country.
